Definitions:A collage is usually a piece that contains pieces from different sources, not just photos. For example, you can mix drawings with photos and scanned materials such as fabric or found objects. The concept of the collage is often decided once all the materials have been chosen and are looked at together. The materials and images in many cases determine how the final piece will look and the concept that will be conveyed by it. A montage is usually considered when two or more images from photographic sources are combined to create one piece. This resulting piece can be surreal and create an illusion and take the viewer to a non-existent place. In photomontage only images taken by the artist are used, and no other borrowed material is included. The photomontage would probably end up being a piece in which the merging of the images is so seamless that regardless of how unplausible the resulting image may be, there is a sense of reality. |
